Repetitive, but agree with the sentiment
The Immigrant Exodus feels like a very long essay / article that has been extended to 100 pages, exploring how stringent immigration laws in the US are causing a reverse brain drain in the fields of business, entrepreneurial ventures and technology. In this case, there is a significant focus on India and China, with the author revealing his own experiences of waiting for a green card when he was younger.

As a result, many are returning home and creating start ups in their own countries, hence India and China have become technological powerhouses, while the USA's industries are beginning to wane. While I agree with most of this book, there is little exploration on the impact of these ventures in the US helping native workers. The author briefly mentions that it can create millions of jobs in the US, but does not explain further. It is rather repetitive but easy to read.
